Guide · Medically reviewed by the MS Longevity Clinic medical team
There is no single best non-surgical facelift. In Korea the main options are focused ultrasound (Ultherapy, Shurink, Tenthera), radiofrequency (Thermage, Volnewmer, Tentherma), microwave (SMA:LT), infrared light (Titan), thread lifts and lifting injections. The best choice depends on whether your main issue is sagging, loose skin, fat or volume loss.
Match the treatment to the problem
| Main concern | Often considered |

| Loose, crepey skin and fine lines | Thermage FLX, Volnewmer, Titan |
| Blurred jawline with some fullness | SMA:LT |
| Mechanical lift | Thread lift |

Combinations
Many plans combine energy treatment with threads or boosters. Timing matters, so your doctor sets the order.
When non-surgical is not enough
With heavy excess skin, a facelift is usually more effective. See thread lift vs facelift.
